I'm leaning towards Brenau. I am waiting to hear back from one school but Brenau will probably be my choice. I hope the orientation will give us more information. I do not see anything online about their NCLEX pass rate, clinicals, etc.

Update: I attended my first semester at Brenau in Spring 2017, and I transferred. Brenau is not a great nursing school. I'm not saying that great nurses don't come out of Brenau, but the nursing school itself is terrible. Professors are not on the same page which is horrible for testing. They don't agree on the same material so they teach differently which is confusing for the students. In a skills lab, I guess I used the wrong side of the stethoscope and the professor LAUGHED in my face instead of correcting me. When I asked what I was doing wrong, he continued to laugh and said "look it up. But this is funny" seriously? How am I learning and you think it's appropriate to laugh? I've seen professors bicker at each other in front of students. When we were going over a test and the students had a lot of questions, they don't answer they just simply say "well if this was the NCLEX you can't ask questions" what's the point of going over a test when you can't ask what you did wrong? There would be some questions that were flat out wrong and they identified it as wrong AND a bad test question but wouldn't throw the question out. Information is almost sometimes hidden. Student engagement and activities are sporifice. Clinical sites are few because Brenau doesn't have a great reputation. I currently work in the hospital and I know of some charge nurses and managers who won't hire Brenau grads because they are simply not prepared. The nursing school I go to now is light years ahead of Brenau and 1000x better in terms of NCLEX preparation, organization, caliber of professors, student activities, technology, and clinical sites. I'm sure the professors at Brenau are great nurses, but they aren't the best professors. I highly suggest that if you are going to spend that much on a nursing degree, you go elsewhere. Not to mention, they JUST earned back their accreditation. You've been warned.

Brenau is awful. The assistant dean is useless. Professors are grossly incompetent. Nothing changes and the cost is no justifiable. Unless a part time program is your only answer, find a different school.

I agree, Brenau is the absolute worse. They excell in unprofessionalism, retaliation, harassment and unethical behavior.
